Security and privacy
Your data never leaves your warehouse. The model never writes SQL.
exelens asks for a read-only identity, imports only views, and encrypts every credential with a per-workspace key. Loaded rows expire with the session. PII can be masked or hidden. Business adds SSO, SCIM and an IP allowlist.
No AI-written SQL
The model never authors a statement. We run one fixed, verified read of a view you already own.
Nothing sensitive at rest
Raw view rows live in a short session and are deleted. Pins keep the chart, not the warehouse.
Your warehouse, your key
Compute stays where the data is. AI is billed by your provider, with no markup on tokens.
Encryption, SSO, PII
Per-workspace keys, SSO and SCIM on Business, column masking. A read-only identity, every time.
Your views
The logic already lives in the warehouse.
Import only the views you want answered from. Descriptions, time columns and column visibility sit on those views. The model reads your views as you wrote them; it does not invent SQL or import tables.
- Views only, never tables
- Time column and descriptions
- Hidden and masked columns
- Checked on import
Multi-platform
Not locked to Cortex. Not locked to Genie.
Warehouse-native chat answers only inside that vendor. Most companies run more than one system. A workspace in exelens can mix views from Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, Fabric and Postgres, and one chat can switch Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, xAI or Bedrock on the keys you already pay for.
A fraction of the cost
Workspace price, not a seat tax on everyone who looks at a number.
Illustrative list prices, USD, 2026. Competitors change packs often; this is the shape of the bill, not a quote.
| Tool | Typical list | What you actually buy |
|---|
| Power BI | $10–24 / user | Plus Fabric capacity as you grow. Viewers are paid seats. |
| Tableau | $15–75 / user | Creator, Explorer, Viewer. A five-analyst team is already hundreds a month. |
| Cortex / Genie | Inside the platform bill | No extra SaaS line. Locked to one warehouse and that vendor’s models. |
| exelens | $59–599 / workspace | Viewers free on Team and above. Your AI key, no token markup. |
Five builders and a dozen executives: Tableau or Power BI charge the viewers. Cortex and Genie hide the cost in a warehouse contract you cannot take to another vendor. Team is $249 a month, viewers free, AI on your own key.
For everyone
Analysts, managers, the C-suite. Connect the warehouse, paste the key, ask.
No desktop install, no six-month BI program. A stranger can sign up, attach a read-only view and an AI key, and have a checked visual in minutes. The subscription is the workspace. People who only read boards do not need a paid seat on Team and above.
Not a generic LLM
One question, one visual. Nothing else.
ChatGPT will write a poem about your revenue. exelens will not. Every message names an output type first. Off-topic, injection and “just write SQL” are refused. The model exists to produce a pinnable graph the business can use today, then let it go.
